Status: Operational / Active Flagship Facility | Location: 4951 NE Huffman Street, Hillsboro, OR 97124, USA
The QTS Hillsboro 1 DC1 Data Center is the inaugural 158,000-square-foot flagship facility developed on QTS Data Centers’ original 92-acre mega-scale campus at 4951 NE Huffman Street in Hillsboro, Oregon, USA. Designed to support high-density hyperscale, enterprise, cloud, and artificial intelligence computing environments, DC1 provides approximately 24 MW of critical IT capacity across roughly 85,000 square feet of raised-floor space. The facility occupies a strategically important position within Hillsboro’s established “Silicon Forest” technology corridor, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most significant concentrations of data centers, telecommunications infrastructure, cloud platforms, and technology companies. As an early large-scale data center development in the Hillsboro market to operate using renewable electricity supplied through Portland General Electric, the facility benefits from Oregon’s substantial hydroelectric generation resources and the region’s growing emphasis on lower-carbon digital infrastructure. DC1 functions as an important connectivity and computing hub within QTS’s broader Pacific Northwest portfolio, providing customers with access to extensive regional fiber infrastructure and carrier networks. Its integration with the Hillsboro Ring enables connections toward major network routes, subsea cable landing infrastructure, trans-Pacific connectivity pathways, and other critical telecommunications facilities serving the West Coast. The facility is engineered to accommodate demanding workloads that require reliable power, resilient infrastructure, high-density computing environments, and extensive network connectivity. These capabilities make it suitable for hyperscale cloud deployments, enterprise applications, AI training and inference, accelerated computing, and other data-intensive workloads. Its location within the broader QTS campus also provides opportunities for future capacity expansion and supports the development of a larger interconnected digital infrastructure ecosystem. As demand for cloud computing, AI infrastructure, and high-performance workloads continues to accelerate, QTS Hillsboro 1 DC1 remains an important component of the company’s presence in the Pacific Northwest. Its combination of substantial IT capacity, renewable electricity access, strategic fiber connectivity, and proximity to major technology markets reinforces Hillsboro’s role as a leading US data center destination.
